Abstract

An energy conversion system for converting the kinetic energy of water waves of the like, into potential energy in a reservoir. There is provided a ramp (11) up which the oncoming waves run to spill into the reservoir (8A), the attitude of the ramp being variable to accomodate the varying energy in the oncoming waves and at the same time accomodates the varying level of stored water in the reservoir, by means of ramp end (15).
